San Marzano Tomatoes P.D.O. (Protected Designation of Origin) are grown exclusively in Italy, in the Agro Sarnese-Nocerino area of Campania, between Naples and Salerno. Cultivation and processing follow the official production specification, which strictly regulates origin, methods, and timing. Each can is individually numbered and approved by the San Marzano Consortium, ensuring full traceability and compliance with the P.D.O. standard.
Open the can and transfer the tomatoes to a bowl or directly into the pan. Gently crush them by hand or with a fork, keeping some texture. Avoid blending unless a smooth sauce is required.
COOKING TIPS
- Cook gently over low to medium heat to preserve natural sweetness and aroma.
- Season lightly and adjust gradually - San Marzano tomatoes require minimal correction.
- Avoid high heat or aggressive boiling, which can flatten flavor.
- Use herbs and aromatics sparingly so the tomatoes remain the focus.
- Finish with olive oil at the end for balance and richness.
- Use the full contents of the can; drain only if a thicker sauce is desired.
COOKING IDEAS
Perfect for classic tomato sauce, pizza sauce, and slow-simmered ragù. Ideal for seafood dishes, braised meats, soups, and stews where clean tomato flavor matters. Excellent for quick sauces finished directly with pasta.
COOKING TIME
- Fresh sauces: 20-30 minutes over low heat
- Richer sauces: 45-90 minutes, gently simmered
SERVINGS
One can serves approximately 2-6 people, depending on the recipe and use.
STORAGE
Once opened, transfer unused tomatoes to a non-metal container, refrigerate, and use within 3–4 days. For longer storage, freeze portions for up to 3 months.
